About
Serm Janjai is a leading figure in tropical atmospheric science, whose research bridges solar energy estimation and aerosol characterization. His primary contributions lie in developing models to estimate photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and solar illuminance using both ground-based and geostationary satellite data, with seminal works like his 2011 PAR model (46 citations) and 2015 luminous efficacy model establishing foundational tools for tropical environments. Janjai’s work on aerosol properties is equally impactful: his participation in the 7-SEAS/BASELInE campaign at Doi Ang Khang, Thailand (19 citations) provided critical in-situ and remotely-sensed observations of biomass burning aerosols from Myanmar, while his long-term AERONET-based studies (13 and 8 citations) have characterized aerosol optical properties and chemical composition—including black and brown carbon—over peninsular Southeast Asia. His 2020 study on aerosol size distribution (9 citations) further links ground-based measurements to climate variables. With over 120 total citations across his most-cited papers, Janjai’s integrated approach—combining satellite remote sensing, ground validation, and radiative transfer modeling—has advanced both renewable energy resource assessment and atmospheric pollution monitoring in the tropics, making his work essential for researchers studying solar radiation, air quality, and climate interactions in Southeast Asia.
